changelog: make copies related function return None or a valid value

With the previous code, existing but empty value were not "decoded", leading to
the method returning one of `None`, some valid value (`list` or `dict`) or
`b''`.

On a general basis, not explicitly checking for None is a source of bugs.
Having a clean return types will help the side-data copies code in future
changesets.
